Namyangju massacre

The Namyangju Massacre was a mass killing carried out by South Korean police and local militia forces from October 1950 to early 1951 during the Korean War. The South Koreans summarily executed over 460 suspected leftists and their families, including at least 23 children under the age of 10. The killings coincided with the Goyang Geumjeong Cave massacre, another mass killing carried out in the aftermath of the Second Battle of Seoul, and the Truth and Reconciliation Commission ordered for the South Korean government to apologize and support a memorial for the victims in 2008.
